The Minister
of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, has reported the Group Managing Director
of the NNPC, Maikanti Baru, to President Muhammadu Buhari over his activities.

In the
letter, Kachikwu had complained of alleged humiliation and disrespectful
conducts form Baru since his appointment in the last one year.

Kachikwu has
also used the opportunity to urge President Buhari to take urgent actions on
matters ranging from alleged illegal practices to insubordination.

The minister
said he found it pertinent to call the attention of the president to his
misgivings because they’re capable of hindering progress in the country’s
petroleum sector or even reverse recorded strides.

“Parastatals in the ministry and all CEOs of
these parastatals must be aligned with the policy drive of the ministry to
allow the sector register the growth that has eluded it for many years.

“To do
otherwise or to exempt any of the parastatals would be to emplace a stunted
growth for the industry,” Kachikwu said.

In
furtherance, Kachikwu said he wrote the letter on August 30, 2017 to the
President after concerted efforts to have a one-on-one appointment with him
failed.

Kachikwu
also reiterated how he had suffered such humiliating and disrespectful conducts
from the NNPC GMD over the last one year.

"It is
in the spirit of service and absolute belief in your leadership and integrity
that I have, after one year of tolerating this disrespectful and humiliating
conducts by the GMD, decided to bring these to your attention."

According to
a report by Premium Times, Udu Ughamadu, NNPC’s head of media said “It was a
private communication between party A and party B. I don’t think it’s proper
for us to comment on that.”

Ozurumba, the spokesperson for the minister is yet to respond to requests for
comments.
